Day 2: Time travel & whisky tasting

Step back in time as you visit the historic Culloden Battlefield and Ruthven Barracks on day 2. The barracks are now ruins, but they are well-preserved and maintained by Historic Scotland, offering a glimpse into Scotland’s military past. If you fancy a tipple, choose to visit the Dalwhinnie Distillery, home to some of the best Scotch whisky. Round off the tour with a comfortable ride back to Edinburgh, taking home memories of a truly Scottish experience.
